Ex-Player Thread Best Ever Foreign Player

[unification]

Aha, I suddenly remember I posted a similar thread on the old YF. The internet never forgets so I’ve managed to extract it again. This should be up to date now but shout if you see someone missing from it.

A reminder that qualifying criteria to be:

A. Being a citizen of the country listed, or
B. Having represented that country international level.

And by country I mean a sovereign state and a member of the UN in its own right. That said, international football is conducted by FAs and not nations (eg, Faroe Islands are part of Denmark but have their own FA and League system). I've added the full internationals only for the home nations + Republic of Ireland.

Those with full international honours have their number of caps in brackets. If they’ve scored an international goal, the total of these is the second number.

EDIT. Sod the table. It takes ages to format it. One long list it is. Sorry, mods.

Interesting thread this.

Luke Harris will be added to Guernsey.

It reminded me of players I'd totally forgotten about like Djavan Anderson. It seems football forgot him too as he was without a club for a year and a half.

A few of these players never actually played for us so can count themselves lucky to have made the thread!

Luke Harris, whilst from Jersey, represents Wales internationally. He has caps up until U21 level for them.

Should he turn out for Jersey, I’ll add his name to the list.

Do jersey or Guernsey have international sides?

I didn't realise the qualification for the list. My error!

A bit late to the party, I know, but Josh Kennet wasn't Israeli. He's a Londoner who spent some time in Israel

 

[Stranger]

They got that wrong. He didn’t sign on loan - he signed permanently and then changed his mind a day or two later. We sold him to Sheffield Wednesday for a few grand about five days after he signed. The entire saga unfolded between two Saturday fixtures, so he never made an appearance. Bizarre.

Also, while I'm on a roll, this isn't exactly true. Grobbelaar didn't change his mind. Sheffield Wednesday were suffering a goalkeeper crisis and offered us five grand for him just a few days after we got him for free, so we took advantage. As it happened, he never played for Wednesday either

According to his Wikipedia, he became an Israeli citizen sometime around 2008. He’s half Israeli on his father’s side too.

[Stranger]

Does anyone know Bud Houghton's citizenship?

Surely one of the first Indians to play in the Football League - or is it more likely he was a British subject being born there before partition?

Dad was English, mum was Indian.

We also had Sammy Chung whose dad was Chinese and his mum was English

Didn't know that. He didn't stay in Israel though, returned to London after two or three years

They do but aren’t FIFA affiliated.

They tend to compete against fellow non-FIFA nations and at events like the Island Games.

Did we not have a player who played for the USA in the 1950’s?

Played against England IIRC.

I think we need to start voting on who is actually the best from each country. Some of them are well outside of my generation but here's a few votes from the ones I have seen.

Antigua & Barbuda - Dexter
Jamaica - Roofe
Indonesia - Romeny
Suriname - Anderson
Uruguay - Corbo
Argentina - Martinez
Poland - Helik
Ivory Coast - Dembele
Spain - Martinez
Portugal - RR
Ghana - Fosu

 

[Stranger]

That rings a bell. Didn't he play in the World Cup when USA beat England 1-0? One of the biggest shocks in football at the time, I think

 

[Common Villager]

Has to be Ruben.

Think @OxBlogger wrote about him.

 

[TobyDavis34]

I mean

Surely the only answer here is the World Cup winning Emi Martinez…

 

[Emilio]

I mean

Surely the only answer here is the World Cup winning Emi Martinez…

Has a great first name too.

It all depends whether we're taking into consideration their career overall, or just their performance while in an Oxford shirt. Because in which case, he would be down towards to bottom end.

If we are combining both their performances while with us and what they have achieved in their careers overall, I would say Roofe has to be up there, tearing it up in our 2016 promotion season, and for winning the SPL, 2 cups, and playing in the final of the Europa League while at Rangers. Toni Martinez is also in with a shout (having won the Primeira Liga once and 5 cups in Portugal) though arguably his time at the club wasn't on the same level as Kemar's.

 

[Left Wing Cross]

With the international window coming to a close, I was minded of the current and former U's who played international football.

At the moment, we have current/former internationals on the books:
Brown, Donley, McDonnell and, Spencer for NI
Vaulks, Bradshaw and, Harris - Wales
Romney and, Ferdinan - Indonesia
Makosso - Congo
Jeon Jin-woo - S Korea
Leigh - Jamaica
Helik and, Płacheta - Poland
Kioso - DR Congo
Findlay - Scotland

and now Negru - Moldova

Plus those with youth caps.

Not to mention the number historical players who joined having previously been internationals (like Hughie Curran), played internationals after leaving us (like Mark Wright), or played internationals while with Oxford (like Magilton).

I doubt our international footprint has ever been bigger

You missed the Aldridge/Houghton combination, and Billy Hamilton across the border.

 

[Mike_H]

... our international footprint has been bigger in terms of furthest distance from Oxford but it certainly covers a greater area now.

Ceri Evans - NZ

https://yellowsforum.co.uk/threads/best-ever-foreign-player.8068/post-545015

I’ve been trying to keep up with our full list for a few years now in the link above.

I need to add Negru for Moldova and Ryan Williams for his second nation of India.

David Sloan first international player whilst playing for us

 

[Emilio]

Surprised we haven't had any Germans yet, given the number from France. That said, I can't think of too many Germans that have made it over to play in England (outside of the top flight). I'm sure there have been a fair few, but perhaps the footballing infrastructure in Germany is one that is stable enough for players to stay rather than having to look overseas. Similar to how few English players move overseas outside of the top levels. Same goes for Italy too, I suppose. Whereas the French "farmers' league" possibly offers fewer opportunities for players to make a living outside of the top flight?

I don’t think, with the odd exception, French lower league football gets much in the way of crowds, so you are probably right. France also seems to produce a lot of pro footballers so that surplus has to move around, it has good academies, a country with the best football league system in the world that is a short hop over the channel is an obvious move, especially now it’s a pretty established one.

I suppose scouts and agents have developed links in certain countries, at our level those links will be what brings players in, so the rest of the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Scandinavia etc, plus maybe commonwealth/English speaking countries are sort of what you would expect, maybe foreign players who play in some of the above leagues, but short of the Diaz era I doubt we have the reach to be pulling players from leagues in Germany, Uruguay, Botswana etc no established route.

Can't wait for us to pillage the Botswanan top flight this summer, just to prove you wrong.

[sideshowrob]

Ruban Roosken can be added to The Netherlands list.

 

[Northernyellow]

Can we have a vote on our worst ever foreign player? Dwight Tiendalli would probably win comfortably. Those of us lucky enough to see him at Fleetwood (A) and Wigan (H) will never forget it. Special mention to Xemi, the medical student Clotet signed because he was a mate of Xemi's Dad. And also to Kristaps Grebis of Smelting Oven fame.
